VICTOR OSIMHEN RECEIVES SUPER EAGLES INVITATION DESPITE GROIN INJURY
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has received an invitation to join Nigeria for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches despite his ongoing recovery from a groin injury.
Galatasaray have reportedly received the formal invitation for the striker ahead of Nigeria’s qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
Osimhen suffered the injury earlier this month and has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation. His availability for the qualifiers remains a major point of interest as Nigeria prepare for two important fixtures.
The decision to invite him gives the Super Eagles technical team the opportunity to assess his condition before determining whether he can play or needs further recovery time.
Nigeria are scheduled to face Madagascar in Uyo before travelling to Guinea-Bissau for the second fixture.
